Quake Lake...

We happened to be in the very spot almost 50 years to the day that a MASSIVE 7.3 earthquake rocked the region causing the side of the mountain to crash into the river below, forming what is now known as Quake Lake. Twenty eight people died that night. It really is an eerie spot, dead trees stick out of the lake and pictured below is a cabin that was thrown from it's foundation and has been floating along the coast line for a half a century.


The side of the mountain that slid off, just like it looked nearly 50 years ago.
